Does anyone know what exactly the Benchwarmer membership gets one?

There is some mention about a gift but it doesn't elaborate. There is also preferential purchasing for games/big games.

Is there anything else apart from this and knowing that the Club loves you?

If you buy $75 one, you get a ticket to a home game of your choice. You wouldn't be able to use it for the Dunedin game though.

Yup understood that but I was more interested to know what the $50 part of the membership got me. The $25 difference for the $75 membership isn't a discount on the ticket is it? Fever Zone is $25 according to the Ticketek site I think.

From my understanding you get the preferential purchases. That is... if you can get them to process your order...

There is a free membership gift mentioned though but not detailed. Is it a Century City keychain or something?

Yeah still waiting for our membership cards to turn up. Surely they got lost in the post, its getting beyond a joke and the rest of the group aren't happy.

Great iniative from the Phoenix, I know some of us have been asking for something like this for a few years now! SHould boost the crowd numbers over summer, especially for families who would have considered coming to the games anyway, as it's now much cheaper.

But you can't use it to buy the AB black shirt.  This in itself is quite a nice gift.

Other than ticketek charging me three times for our tickets this season I really haven't had a bad rap from them so far.  It does seem that there are some of the posters who suffer problems every season.  I wonder if there is something wrong in the database with their details?

(e.g. Doloras putting "Vuko's GF" in the name field might have resulted in the "benchwarmer" pass being sent to another address...)

Same deal for me. It didn't say it was a benchwarmer membership though. It DID tell me that I was able to use it to gain access to all games. Odd. And of course it arrives the week AFTER they play in Auckland...

Yeah, I was noticing that. I wonder if I could actually get into the RoF with it?
